I transmit to the House of Representatives, in answer to a resolution of the 9th instant, the accompanying report from the Secretary of State.
I communicate, for the consideration of the Senate, a report from the Secretary of State, accompanied by a copy of a dispatch recently received from the acting United States consul in charge of the legation at San Jose, Costa Rica.
My object in this communication is to suggest certain defects in the Constitution which seem to me to require correction.
As a mark of respect for his memory, it is ordered that the Executive Departments be immediately placed in mourning and all business be suspended on the day of the funeral.
